Thread: Big free agent signing that no one saw coming to fill the 2C job-Big Canes trade

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DiehardRedWingsFan58</b></div><div>Connor has more value then Pesce? And it's a 23 man roster not 20 man roster. So you've 0 cap space. So more moves need to be added.</div></div>

It’s a minimum 20 man roster, and does not have to be 23. If you subtract the overpays for Laine and Duchene this team would have the space.

Thread: Zaitsev to EDM - Marleau to LAK

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Fleurdelille</b></div><div>I think Benning has quiet offense. It's actually quite good 5v5 p/60. His possession and scoring for and against aren't bad. He has no particular skill or role to play, and he isn't playing as much elite competition. For what he's getting paid compared to his play though, that good value for a 6th D</div></div>

Although in limited minutes, Benning had the best numbers against elite competition last season. If anything happens with him it won’t/shouldn’t be this year. He’s pretty much the perfect stop gap until Bouchard and Bear/Persson are ripe and ready.

Thread: Imagine the Oilers actually signed a big name free agent lool

The Oilers big FA signing would be a goal scoring, speedy winger. RNH and Duchene are damn near identical players.

Thread: Zaitsev to EDM - Marleau to LAK

Benning is 25, a RFA, cost 2.6 mill less, and is a better defenseman.

Some dumb fk Oilers fans are down on Benning for reasons I can’t understand. But I suspect it’s the same idiots that wanted Petry and Schultz gone before they even hit 300 games in the NHL too.

Sorry Jangle, accidentally quoted you there

Thread: Playing Draisailt and RNH as wingers makes no effing sense

I know you’ve traded him here, but I think Puljujärvi played best with Nuge. Jesse wasn’t ready for second line minutes or competition though. RNH is an expensive third line centre, but I think he’s the best guy to help Puljujärvi and maybe Benson along.

Thread: PHI and EDM

The Oilers have like 7 LD that are better or further along then Hajek. You can’t get two top 4 defensemen + for that. Klefbom is signed for 4 more seasons. No shot at the Stanley Cup in that time, c’mon now?

Oilers Signed LD:
Sekera
Klefbom
Russell (plays RD, but should be on the left side)
Nurse
Lagesson
Jones
Samorukov
Lowe
Manning

Thread: Prospect heavy lineup

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AH96</b></div><div>On TSN 1260 Jason Gregor was interviewing Jay Woodcroft and named Lagesson his best defender, I still think Jones has a lot to work on in his own end whereas Lagesson is close to NHL ready offensively and already an NHLer defensively. Samorukov had a monster season in Junior he is looking like Chiarelli's biggest steal.</div></div>

I tend to agree about Lagesson, definitely the strongest defensively. Samorukov will be the last coming up of the three though. If he keeps going the he has this last season, 1.5 AHL seasons tops. The big problem is Sekera, Klefbom, Russell, and Nurse blocking the way though. I’m a strong believer in LHD and RHD balance too

Thread: Prospect heavy lineup

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AH96</b></div><div>But would he want to come here after that offer-sheet fiasco

Really? Jones? I was debating Lagesson or Samorukov, never thought about Jones. Still think he's a season or two away from NHL minutes.</div></div>

Look at their stats. Jones has played 2 seasons in the AHL with a NHL call up, Lagesson has one AHL season, and Samorukov is coming out of Juniour.

Thread: TOR fans what do you think

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>biglite351</b></div><div>A guy an be traded twice with retention (same contract). Each trade can have up to 50% retention. Team C can get a guy for 25% of his contract.

Team A trades the guy and retains 50%. Team B can also retain 50% in a trade (as they only hold 50%, their 1/2 retention is 25% of the original). Team C gets the guy at 25% of the original.</div></div>
Ya they word it weird in the CBA, I was repeating what I was told. I see now that just the percentages are based off the original contract, and not all retentions being limited to 50% of original total. Found the Devan Dubnyk trade as an example. Funny, was the Oilers too.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oneX</b></div><div>I did not use any numbers so not sure why you asked me this but even so, Lucic will have to be traded multiple times with whatever salary retention for teams to even consider the possibility.</div></div>

My bad, was supposed to be a response to you and the comment you quoted. I’m not asking anything. I was just explaining that only 50% total of his 6 million salary can be retained. So the minimum a team will have to pay Lucic is 3 million $. No matter how many trades with retention.

Thread: TOR fans what do you think

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MacerV</b></div><div>The only way I see Lucic being traded is if he gets retained twice to a final destination. $6M-->$3M-->$1.5M. That's buriable on the 4th line.</div></div>
You can’t retain more then 50% of the contract total. Not 50% each.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MacerV</b></div><div>At this point, I might as well grab the tweet and copy and paste the response into future threads.

The leafs have already rejected Brown for Benning. <a href="https://twitter.com/TSNRyanRishaug/status/1100147164364255232" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Source</a></div></div>

Where in that tweet does it say Toronto turned it down?

He said the leafs ask was probably Benning, and the trade didn’t go down. That tells me the Oilers rejected it.

Calling him a defenseman is reaching. He’s a third line RW that makes $5.4 mill.

Thread: re-do

Chia never signs Andre Sekera instead of not giving Erik Gustafsson a contract?

I don’t still don’t believe the Griffin Reinhart trade was completely on Chiarelli, he’d only had the job a short time. I think that was a product of MacTavish and the scouts at the time. After that why would they sign Gustafsson, they had Reinhart lol

Thread: Simple summer

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>herzausstein</b></div><div>that's fair. Just wasn't sure of his status since he still hasn't gotten a fair shake at NHL time. Would Jones be more available then due to Edmonton's surplus of lefties? or perhaps Persson?</div></div>

I think Lagesson, or Persson could get got. If they can’t move Russell or Sekera one of Klefbom or Nurse maybe too, would have to be a top six winger at least though. I don’t know if the Oilers have ever been so deep in defence, It’s hard too know what they’re going to do
